Building My Life Chapter 2664 Not a Simple Job
At Café Montanha, Helen and João Paulo celebrated the result of the job interview. The radio was playing “Chelsea Dagger” by The Fratellis.Neil served two cups of cappuccino and a plate of diced chocolate-covered sponge cake.“Do I deserve to know the reason for the celebration?” Neilton asks charismatically.“Of course you can!” Helen exclaims happily, “I was hired to be a saleswoman at Cardozo Perfumes!”Neilton is startled, looking at João Paulo.The husband laughs. “Hey, what’s the matter?”“Ehr...” Neilton doesn’t know how to express himself without offending those involved, “How is Mrs. Queiroz going to work as a saleswoman when you’re a great journalist?”“My friend, it seems that you still don’t understand the dimension of the thing.” João Paulo states in good humor, “Cardozo Perfumes is not a small fry company that will pay a measly sales commission salary. It’s becoming popular, expanding the market, and winning over new buyers. You must thank that to Rosemary and my nephew

Pedro is discouraged by the announcer’s announcement. “Oh no, more bad news? Who died this time?”“Calm down, Pete!” Beto approaches the radio to hear well.The announcer announces, “An unidentified man was found dead on the banks of the river that surrounds the city, but there was a large sheet of paper pinned to his clothes with the words: ‘Here is who tried to kill Caio Campos’. The police are being summoned to this mystery. Caio Campos is still in the hospital, recovering from surgery. For more information, stay tuned to us, or follow the LCN newscast...”Suddenly, the radio starts playing “Sin, Sin, Sin” by Robbie Williams.Beto and Pedro look at each other.“Father, do you know what this means?” Peter asks.“Did Tiago’s ‘boys’ attack again?”“In this case, they did justice.” Pedro states with the vehemence of a teenager, “If Caio died... he’s my brother, damn it!”“I know, son.” Beto nods, “I think you should also go to the hospital to share the news—” Beto choked up as he tried
Building My Life Chapter 2666 Neilton Is Honored In the Soap Opera
A few days passed. The police investigation was awaiting Caio's identification to determine whether the person found dead in the river was the same guy who spoke to him at the gate of his house minutes before the shooting.Caio, in turn, rested peacefully in his hospital bed. He was awake and received visitors.William visited his son. “My son is a big man who can even withstand bullets from a gun! Did I create the new Superman?”“Come on, Dad.” Caio laughs, not too loudly so as not to move his shoulder, “I was lucky or divinely protected.”“You always suspected that crazy guy was going to shoot, huh?” William strokes his son’s messy hair.“Always,” Caio nodded, “A guy I’ve never seen in my life was at the gate, waiting for me to just go there to ‘get a message’. If only he was disguised as a postman or messenger... but not even that!”“Tsk.
Building My Life Chapter 2667 It’s Nadia’s Turn
At the General Hospital, Pedro visited Caio as intended. The brothers talk about life.“Caio, how are you? Our sister cried a lot.”Caio smiled, “Do you know who came to see me? Little Theo!”“Oh, that is nice!” Pedro grinned, “After we visited him, and with your girlfriend working for his father, it looks like he’ll become more present in our lives.”“And that’s how it should be.” Caio became serious, “An episode like this makes us reflect on how short our lives are and can be ended by any nonsense.”“Hey, man, don’t give me that morbid tone.” Pedro didn’t like the change, “You’ve already been operated on, the wound has already healed, and the doctor promised that you’re out of danger.”“Today I’m doing very well. The problem is the future, what awaits us.” Caio philosophizes, “I want to
Building My Life Chapter 2668 Alan Is Not Easy to Deceive
At General Hospital, Dylan took some photos of the man found dead on the city’s riverbank. William was back to provide moral support to his son.“Caio, many customers at the pizzeria appreciate your improvements.” William touches his good shoulder.“Thank you, Dad. Maybe I’ll be discharged soon.” Caio smiles hopefully.“In the meantime, let’s look at these photos.” Dylan elaborates, “As I noted and detailed in my report, the man found dead had his face carefully intact. Perhaps they did this to help you.”Caio took the photos. As he looked closely, he closed his eyes... and remembered.“Yes, Officer Amoreira.” Caio hands the photos back, “It was this guy who called me to my house, early in the morning, expecting me to leave without even knowing him.”“Are you sure, Caio?” Dylan takes the photos.“Yes. It was that individual.&rdq

Days later, Nadia was back in the apartment, lying in bed, leaning against the headboard and with a beautiful baby boy in her arms, to everyone’s delight.Maggie commented, “It’s a shame that my magazine has already released its last issue.”“At least we’ll have time for the baby to grow a little. Now he is very swollen due to the birth.” Nadia says looking at her son.“And what will his name be?” Thierry asked.Nadia and Rodrigo looked at each other.“We haven’t chosen any specific name yet,” Rodrigo admitted.“So let’s settle this now.” Francisco rubs his palms, “We already have Ignacio, in honor of your uncle. I don’t think you’ll want to put on ‘Ulysses’.”“Jesus Christ, no!” Nadia shouted, making the others laugh.“Ignacio is me.” The boy twin comments, caressing the baby.“And I’m Mary.” Mary added, somewhat oblivious to the conversation, “What a beautiful baby, Mommy!”“Exactly.” Melissa was present. The Mountain family still considered her family because of the twins. “May I s
Building My Life Chapter 2670 Right to Drool over Kelvin
In Melissa’s office, Caroline feels more comfortable talking about her concerns.“Mom...” She sits on the couch. “I need to talk about something that’s been bothering me for weeks.”“And why did you only tell me about this now?” Melissa is shocked.“I wanted to prove that I was an adult by solving my problems.” Caroline sighs, “But it looks like I still need to learn.”“Let me be the judge of that.” Melissa sits in the armchair with an encouraging smile.With that, Caroline continues, “I realized that Felipe Mountain is taking an interest in me as more than a friend. If I had any doubts, today he wanted to demonstrate more openly, but I rejected him.”Melissa is stunned by the information. “Huh... Felipe? Kelvin’s nephew?”“And Daryl’s son, which shouldn’t surprise me,” Caroline complains.“No, daughter, this SHOULD surprise us!” Melissa asserts. “When Felipe met us, he was a kind boy and promised to be the opposite of his adoptive father. But now...”“I would say ‘the blood spoke lou
Building My Life Chapter 2671 Kelvin Shouldn’t Make Jokes
Melissa showed up at the Cardozo Perfumes office. The secretary made gestures and a scolding face for the saleswomen in training to keep quiet because they were talking about her ex-husband.Helen, undeterred, got up from the couch and smiled at her. “Good morning, Melissa.”“Good morning, Helen.” Melissa smiled, “When they told me you were working as a salesperson...”“It’s better than babysitting. I’ll no longer be paid to take care of Sandra. She calls me Mommy.” Helen laughs.“Sandra has no memory of her real mother, Gabriela Alves.” Melissa laughs. “Kelvin arrived?”Helen looks defiantly at her other sales mates, and then turns to Melissa. “Yes, he arrived. We were talking about him.”“Ah, I imagine how the apples of your colleagues’ eyes had a party.” Melissa laughs as she heads to Kelvin’s office.Helen sits back down on the couch. “Now do you understand?”The saleswoman who demanded the ‘right’ to drool over Kelvin exclaimed in astonishment, “But... but it was the Lady of Lago

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf
Chapter 3231 The Viper of Lagoon City
Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
